HD data Recovery after mistaken partition removal?

While recovering from a C drive crash we inadvertently removed the partion
from the D drive.
We have not done anything else to D, no format or anything. It still shows
as D in Windows Explorer but a message comes up that it needs to be
formatted.

Is there a way to restore the data that was on that drive in its original
context? Can I buy software to do that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you

Before doing anything, make a sector-wose image backup of the drive and
then work on the copy. Other than that for example the GNU parted (->google)
find partition command schould help. There are other tools as well.

Yes, any of the recovery tools should recover that fine.

I like Easy Recovery Pro, but it isnt cheap if you have to pay for it.
